A tranquil seascape showing gentle waves rolling onto a sandy beach beneath a pastel evening sky. Soft pink and blue clouds surround a pale moon above the horizon, reflecting the calm atmosphere of twilight.

From turquoise coastlines to ancient red gorges, Emma Thomson’s paintings celebrate Western Australia’s diverse beauty, inviting us to pause, reconnect with nature, and revisit cherished memories.

This exhibition celebrates the remarkable diversity of Western Australia, from the windswept shores of our coastline to the rugged beauty and rich ochre landscapes of Karijini and El Questro. Though vastly different, these places share the power to leave a lasting impression, inviting us to slow down, reconnect with nature, and reflect on the memories they inspire. 

About the artist

Emma Thomson is a Perth-based artist known for her atmospheric seascapes and Western Australian landscapes. Through her work, she captures the shifting qualities of light, movement and colour found along the State’s coastline and diverse natural environments.
